Intro: SquadJS¶
SquadJS is a program that runs in the background of Squad and is linked to our Discord. It reads through and monitors Squad’s game logs, using these logs to automatically perform actions (seeding messages, server name and auto afk kick), create easy to read chat logs on discord that include TKs and admin broadcast(BM doesn’t track either), send !admin pings to a special discord channel, gives live server status updates, and allows ingame administration using the ChatToAdmin chat with specific commands.
SquadJS Interactions¶
The syntax to send commands through admin chat is: ![command] [playername] [reason]
The [reason] must be more than one word unless you send a shortcut.
!warn playername unlock will warn a player to unlock their squad with the “unlock” shortcut
!warn playername stop will return an error message, because there is no “stop” shortcut
!warn playername Stop locking your RWS squad, you must unlock will successfully warn a player with the written message
Remove spaces in a playername to warn players with spaces. For a player named “Bravo Delta”, the interaction would be: [command] BravoDelta [reason]. To kick “Bravo Delta” using a solo (solo’ing vehicle) shortcut, use !kick BravoDelta solo.
SquadJS will attempt to match incomplete player names. This means you may not have to type a full player name. If we want to warn player Randy Newman with an SLkit shortcut, we can use !warn randy SLkit. If SquadJS returns an error message, because there is another player named Randy Fuming, we can get more specific and use !warn RandyNew SLkit

Admin Commands (sent through admin chat)¶
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| !afkout | Calling it a night? Consider helping the server go one more. Delay your disconnect until staging ends, or AFK out. The bot will get ya. |
| !autofog | !autofog toggle will turn off the fog on RAAS automagically. !autofog status will show you the current setting (should be off by default) !autofog save will save the status to JS. This is used to ensure the setting stays through SquadJS crashes, but will require it be turned off |
| !broadcast, !broad, !b Message | Sends a broadcast with whatever custom message is written |
| !disband [#] | Disbands the targeted squad of the executor’s team |
| !endvote | Prematurely ends a vote in progress. End a vote early if you are cutting it close with the 3 minute map vote and the game’s end approaches |
| !enemydisband [#] | Disbands the targeted squad of the executor’s opposing team |
| !fog [1/0] | This will reveal the flag sequence of a RAAS layer on the map for all players. Essentially turns a RAAS game into an AAS layer, but with different patterns. Announce fog off round before with admin consensus |
| !kill playername reason | Automatically teamswitches a player twice so that they return on their original team, but dead and not in a squad. Used if players are glitched and can’t use the respawn console command or as a light punishment when dealing with seeding issues. Reason is not required |
| !kick playername reason | Kicks player from server, reason required. No timeout, players can rejoin instantly |
| !main | [!base copy]: No base camping. Failure to respond to admin warnings to back off an enemy main base can result in removal. |
| !maps | Shows the last 6 maps, factions and end times. Retrieves match history from the squadjs database. Repeats 3 times |
| !newpilot | New pilots. Live games on TT are not for your first flight hours. Lack of adequate experience can get you grounded. Join us on the range to practice. |
| !pad | Do not block the heli pads. Keep the pads clear so assets can spawn and everyone can practice. |
| !randomize | (Use !randomizenext below) Randomizes the teams. Best use for this is after a map change, when people load into the server, but before too many squads are created. If you execute this mid-game, on average half the server will immediately die on the teamswap |
| !randomizenext | Updated version of !randomize. This command will automatically shuffle the teams after the map switch. |
| !runoff | Starts a runoff vote in the event of a tie in the vote. Works for both regular/standard votes(using !vote) and mappool votes(started by !rtv). |
| !rotation | !rotation toggle will turn on the server map rotation for Fogless Friday. !rotation status will show the current status. !rotation save will save the current status to JS and works the same as autofog. Saving it will require the setting be turned off to return to normal play |
| !shownext | Shows the next map, factions and subfactions. Note: This is no longer an admin exclusive command |
| !switchnext playername | This command will automatically switch a player to the other team at the beginning of the next map |
| !switchnow playername | Switches a player instantly from one team to another |
| !tickets | Displays detailed information about the past 6 games, including layer, factions and ticket differential. Repeats 3 times |
| !timeout playername reason | Kicks and bans a player from the server for 1 hour. When used this command prevents the player from accruing points on SCBL. A “timeout” for more minor infractions. |
| !unyeet | Wipes the !timeout/!yeet command ban list |
| !vote option1 option2 [[option3] ...] | Initiates a 3 minute server wide vote. Used for map votes. Remember to set the next map in BattleMetrics after the vote is completed. Example(s): !vote belaya kamdesh kohat!vote urban desert forest |
| !w, !warn playername message | Send a written message to a player. This can be a shortcut listed below, or a custom sentence:!w drewpro SLkit!warn drewpro Please grab an SL kit your next spawn |
| !yeet playername reason | Kicks player from server, reason required. Natural 5 minute re-join cooldown. Reason REQUIRED |
